Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 103.2

However, since the Empire was now using it to wage a great war, it was unlikely that they would accept the request.

At the very least, he would have to wait until after the war was over to make the request, or else he would have to hope that Maesterium would be able to create it. Still, as the pinnacle of Imperial magical engineering, they would surely be able to solve it.

In any case, Oswald was reassured by Gilgamesh’s presence.

Oswald and the Sigmund Unit then boarded the airship. The airship had also been equipped with an internal combustion engine, making it much faster. It was not yet capable of implementing a jet engine, but it was still much faster.

The airship, carrying the Sigmund Unit, headed south over the sea and made a wide detour. The Western Army Group, which had seen the detachment, also began to advance.

The Northern Army Group in the north advanced with two field armies, occupying the northern coastal areas and inland regions, and sent two corps towards Madrid. As it was the capital of the Republic, it was important to capture it.

While the Northern Army Group acted in this way, the Southern Army Group advanced with one corps along the coast and two field armies towards Seville.

Now, with only the Republic’s Portuguese territory left, the war was effectively over. The Empire also did not want the war to drag on any longer, and had found new lands to annex, so they planned to negotiate a ceasefire and an end to the war through the CID once they had occupied the remaining territories of the Republic.

They would have liked to have occupied the Kingdom of Britannia’s mainland as well before negotiating, but. . . . unless they could overcome the Royal British Navy, invading their mainland would be difficult.

To attack the British mainland, they would first have to transport troops by sea or air, but both were impossible. The Royal British Air Force and Navy were too powerful.

Although new weapons and technologies were being developed, such as airships and sea battleships. . . it would take a long time to build up squadrons or fleets with them.

And so, the war entered a new phase.

KWAANG!

HWARURUK!

Wielding Pluto’s green-flamed holy sword ‘Ruin’, Leto Zagreaus, the champion of Pluto, attacked the ‘Blood Cult’, a gathering of blood Chaos cultists.

As a result, the Sword officers who had been deployed to stabilize the occupied area were shocked and rushed out into the streets to observe the situation. They had already been informed by the Holy See that there would be an attack on Chaos. . . but they had not expected things to progress so quickly.

【Damn you, Leto!!】

A vampire demon, who could have passed for a bat-human, attacked Leto Zagreaus with a barrage of blood magic. However, the blood magic was annihilated every time ‘Ruin’ was swung. . . The compatibility was very poor.

This was because the nature of the holy sword ‘Ruin’, which turned all magic into nothingness, prevented Leto from being hit by magic. At the very least, it would take magic cast by a demon of at least the archduke rank to overcome the holy sword ‘Ruin’.

【Time is running out! The rest of us will sacrifice ourselves to summon the archduke!!】

The cultists of the ‘Blood Cult’ decided to sacrifice themselves to summon a blood archduke demon. As the summoning ritual began! Deatheaters appeared and incinerated all the ‘Blood Cult’ cultists who were to be sacrificed.

The cultists, engulfed in the flames of Pluto that left no trace of ash, screamed and burned until their physical bodies were completely annihilated.

【KWAAR!!】

Vampire demons with their bodies on fire screamed and used their last ounce of strength to charge at the Deatheaters. The Deatheaters then used mithril stakes to pierce their hearts in one blow.

Normally, their souls would have been banished to the Chaos world. . . but Pluto’s flames sought complete annihilation, so their physical bodies turned to dust and their souls were also annihilated.

“If we had been just a little later. . . . an archduke demon would have manifested?”

“Then it would have been a pain in the ass.”

No matter how much of a champion he was, it was difficult for him to fight an archduke-class demon alone. At the very least, at least five of the champions who followed the nine divines would be needed to confront an archduke. They had been able to locate this place in advance and stop them, thus preventing such an event from happening.

“But why is Leto-nim having more trouble than I thought?”

The earl-class blood chaos demon, realizing that his blood magic was ineffective, immediately changed his strategy. He used a summoning spell to summon bloodspawn monsters.

Monsters made of blood with large mouths filled with sharp teeth, with no eyes, nose, or ears on their faces except for their large mouths. . . Their size and appearance varied, but their faces were all the same, with large mouths and sharp teeth.

These blood-type monsters were creatures that lived in the Blood Chaos territory, so ‘Ruin’, which turned magic into nothingness, could not exert its full power against them. Even so, they were not completely immune to the flames of Pluto. . . but they were still a nuisance.

In the end, Leto incinerated the blood-type monsters that were rushing at him with the flames of Pluto, and then quickly flew up and pierced the earl-class demon’s heart with ‘Ruin’.

HWARURUK!

【Damn you, Leto!! When the world is destroyed, I will tear you apart with my own hands!!】

“Surely you know that if you are touched by Pluto’s flames, you will not be able to return to your original world, no matter who you are?”

The earl-class demon trembled at Leto’s words. As the flames spread throughout the demon’s body! Suddenly, with a loud ‘CHURURUK’ sound, seven purple chains and hooks pierced the earl-class demon’s two arms, two legs, two wings, and body from behind.

The earl-class d
emon was then dragged backwards at an incredible speed. . . Behind the earl-class demon, a purple circular gate opened and closed as the earl-class demon was sucked in.

As the circular gate disappeared, what appeared was a knight in purple plate armor and a large horse covered in purple horse armor.

“The Knight of Avarice. . . Barbatos.”

One of the seven champions of the evil Chaos God Diablo had appeared at this place.
